Chapter 19 - The War Begins and Mysteries Arise

On Planet Visordin, the 'man' stands before an army of thousands of Hybridized Mortals infused with Demonic Blood, behind him the Other Arch Priests await his command with the hooded female Arch Priestess standing right Beside him.

The Ominous Sounds from the Obelisk reverberate across the whole Cavern. Demons and Soldiers alike stand solemnly in terror as they await an order. The pale 'man' spoke while turning to the hooded female beside him,

"Lady Mora, there is still imperfection in the Mortals, A Number of them do not match our Standards, would you like to filter them?"

His emotionless voice brought terror within the heart of these cultists - deviants. He awaited her reply patiently as if placing the live chicken on the chopping board and asking the head chef whether she would like it raw or cooked.

The hooded female Arch-Priestess Mora looked at the crowd as if scrutinizing ingredients, " The Cavern can only have the best fighters and I do not trust even a single Cult initiate here - I sense so much hesitation and unnecessary thoughts from these weak beings - It would be better if all of them received a little 'gift', Do not worry, this gift will make you so much more useful than you are now? Shall I give it to them Head Priest?"

The other Arch Priests remained silent as usual, but there was a faint glint of horror in their eyes when they heard her speak about the 'gift'. They quickly regained control but they had increased their wariness against this horrifying Arch Priestess - They knew what was about to happen, once 'he' gave his approval.

It was far too horrifying to even think about.

"Go Ahead"

The 'man' replied back emotionlessly while looking at the cultists he had brought together before. Unfortunately, they did not transform well and acclimatize to the grand gifts of their Demon Lord. Now it would be better for such failures to serve as Food - For A Better ARMY!

Mora raised her right arm towards the crowd of Imperfections and let out a guttural moan,

"Children! Mother Has Food For You!"

Her Body Exploded into a huge Swarm of Demonic Insects, Nothing of her old form could be seen now - even her clothes had exploded the moment she let out those words. Millions of Demons Insects began to Swarm around the Army from the Void. It seemed they had always followed her and were simply waiting for her command.

Even if her Body Did not Exist, Her Voice Still echoed across the whole Cavern,

"Choose my Precious! Choose the ones that shall receive our Gift! As for others! They will serve as Food, Such Gifts do not come for free After All! Devour My Precious! SATE YOUR HUNGER!"

The Whole army fell apart after they heard that!

Fuck this Shit - they thought! No need for this Gift! They signed up for power! Not to Become someone's meal snack! They began to run towards the Exit of the Massive Cavern! But as they turned their direction towards it, They soon found a Dark Shadow Wall that blocked them from Going forward.

The 'man' was the one behind it, Obviously, He could not let such prime food material escape now, could he?

Hoarse screams came out of the Cavern, as the swarm descended upon the trapped army, beginning the process of creating the most messed up armies in the World.

The Other Arch-Priests walked up towards the man as they spoke,

"it seems we have guests - Shall We initiate the Horde Head Priest?"

"Yes Call Them - This war must not take long, tell the horde to capture all Planets in the Deion-Tempest Star System... Our Enemy must not get an inch to build a stronghold in the Planets!"

"As You Command!"

They solemnly replied and dispersed to command the armies, The pale 'man' however disappeared and reappeared below the Pulsing obelisk, as he saw, the chunk of rock break down bit by bit, albeit slowly but steadily.

If this rock broke, whatever secret present would come out and change the Balance of Powers at the Higher Dimensional Level. With this, even Realms would collapse. But Now his job was to guard it and stand as the Person who would ensure it went to the Demon Goddess Alone.

He sat down - waiting patiently for fate to run its course.

On the Planets, Massive Portal Gates Opened where Demon Armies Began to move out, only to be greeted By Armed Mecha Warriors Dropping down from Several Spaceships.

Carnage Soon Followed, A full blood bath had begun between both sides, and this time because they had some anti-Domain Technology and Relics - The Humans did not face any negative influence from the Domain and Fought at Full Power.

Any Hope of a Quick Victory Over the Humans Died Down among the Demonic Side. Both Planets had received enough Reinforcements from GLNAC and GRATU to keep them at Bay.

The Demons however kept increasing the Pressure on Human Side with their humongous Numbers to keep them busy from What was Going On Visordin.

For Now that Tactic Worked.

But the Rift investigation Team had already Been Deployed to find out Everything Important about the Rift and the necessary means to contain or Deactivate the Rift as soon as possible.

They had already begun their Efforts by first Securing all Local Population and Infrastructure that could give them any clue.

Detachment after Detachment of Soldiers began to Evacuate Civilians and took charge of the Local Militia with the Military Liaisons from the Rathiel Republic that had come with them,

Even Space Ships of the Rathiel Republic which had gone Offline due to the Domain were brought back by GLNAC Scouts for further Deployment against Demons.

All this only took 8 hours - the Power of Technology and Response in the future. The GLNAC and GRATU welcomed locals who could provide any clue to the situation - being the First Responders at the Activation of the Domain.

Meanwhile, the Head Investigator was none other than Traven, Rayna's Husband - He was not only an outstanding warrior but had incredibly high perception and excellent deductive skills. He did however have an odd penchant for Alcohol.

His First Move - He landed on Planet Sarkon with his wife immediately to check on their youngest Disciple - Kriti Kumaran - who was at the Atrios Group Compound, still trying to find some ways to track her missing child. They held a sigh of relief when they found her and most of her family uninjured. Kriti Embraced Rayna with tears and explained what had happened.

They were alarmed when they heard her child had gone missing and there was likely some form of possession involved. Rayna could sense that despite their strong facade, the young couple were blaming themselves heavily for the whole matter. Their weariness and guilt was beginning to take a toll on them.

Traven immediately ordered his Subordinates to form a full Report on what had happened and Requested the Atrios Family to cooperate as well. His order immediately activated their Recon Team who began to call upon several Organizations and Authorities on The System to give a clear Picture.

The Representatives from various Local Clans and Groups had come to report what had exactly happened. The most curious and suspicious Report was from the Atrios Group and the Students of Legion Academy- who were stuck in Old Camner Town.

The family security reported unusual Occurrences that had happened prior to the Rift Opening and After. Possible signs of a mental invasion, a distress call made by a protege of a high-level GLNAC Member and her child had gone missing - likely to be possessed by a Demon, yet he killed all demons in the vicinity and escaped.

The Students Reported Feeling the Pressure of a Demon Lord Descend when they were trying to reclaim Security Functions in the Town. Plus there was severe Damage done in structurally - like a massive battle had occurred between Demons at first and then an Entity of Law had intervened - deduced by remnant Energy left at the Site.

Curiously, a Secure code known only to Military A- Grade Personnel and Above had been used to reconfigure the Power Supply and Defenses present in the Town. Basically, someone had restarted the whole system again cleanly, with Zero self-analysis, and bypassed several security checks.

The Rathiel Republic Military Officer was baffled as the Town Administrator who knew the code, was busy killing Demons when the Defense Sytems Reactivated.

There were other Reports as well of Demon Conflict, But 3 Reports showed a curious message - A winged Silver Armored Demon Shaped Entity had come and collected Specific Materials at 3 Different Locations and Then Shot into the Sky.

The Silver Armored Demon Entity was covered in full armor and was called a Demon due to its Physique. It seemed to not respond to any form of communication and kept killing any Demons It Encountered.

Its Power Levels were varied - with some believing it to have near Stage 6 Power and Others Categorizing it at Stage 5 early. The Most curious part was the link between this and the Incident at Old Camner Town.

Offline Secret Surveillance Systems captured a Demonized child that killed a shadow Demon like breaking a chopstick. Another Captured Him Engaging in combat with Vakiis Demons and Entering the Def Sec Building at the same time when the Entity of Law Arrived.

The child- fit the profile of the one that went missing due to possession in Atrios Compounds - not far from old Camner Town.

An Odd link is that wherever this child went, Demons Died and the Child Disappeared after the Entity of Law arrived. After Restarting the Civilian Data Base at Atrios - The Child was not Dead according to the microchip implanted in the spine at birth - much to the relief of his family, but there was no clue what had happened after.

The Microchip was not made of physical matter after all - it was a spirit construct, carefully crafted with the help of the Parent, and would dissolve once the child was old enough to form a rudimentary spirit imprint to replace the existence of the chip in the Data Base.

If any information could be found, they would have to find the Armored Silver Demon First!

Traven Surmised that whatever Demon it was - it hated demons and seemed to have its own Goals that did not know off. They knew that no human had been harmed by both the Boy or the Armored Demon but they had to keep their prudence up and placed a wanted Poster for Both in case.

Traven sent their Best Disciples to figure out where the Silver Demon went and if any astronomical Data could help detect any similar Energy Signatures which had already been recorded on the Planet after all the Silver-armored Demon visited those 3 stores.

There had to be something recording the Energy signature. He later focused on the Reports about the Rift Formation and various different activities carried out by the Demons. As he was investigating, A Silver Armored Demon Broke through Several Demonic Blockades placed before Planet Visordin.

It was way too fast in its flight mode and easily dodged several traps and Patrols and entered the Upper Atmosphere of Visordin.

"Extreme Chaos Fields Detected!"

"Energy Consumption to increase by 100 times to avoid Extermination"

"Priority shifted to Finding Suitable Landing Site"

"Found"

"Analysing Rift Data ... comparing Rift Data with Informed Presets - Warning Severe Abnormalities Detected - Rift Scale has increased - User must Invoke a Full Divine Projection to Close the Rift and Restore Order"

"Requesting Sister Artifact to Update Higher Dimensional Contact Runes to include Divine Entity Grandmaster Irolin Instead of Chief Disciple Beiming"

"Request Successful - Energy Reserves not enough to maintain full Body Control - Must Land"

The Silver Armored Demon was none other than Executor Visor who had fused with Aavesh to solve the Rift. The Executor realized the severity of the situation and immediately used several maneuvers to land quickly and stealthily near the Rift Location - The Grand Cavern in Visordin.

As he landed, he took out a tiny Silver Obelisk, a form created to mimic the Object behind the rift. The Obelisk was created in a joint effort with the Sister Artifact he procured from a certain Academy on Visordin.

After obtaining her, he used the knowledge passed on to him by Aavesh to Create a Perfect Counter Symbol Array, which was further improved when the Sister Relic transformed herself into an Obelisk with the Array as her Core Runes to maximize the potential of closing the Rift.

You might be wondering why these two entities would go so far to save everyone and Restore Order. These were Entities made by Lawful Neutral Factions using the Higher Dimensional Energy of the Infinite Machina Realm.

The moment they were born they would serve the purpose they were created for - To maintain Order at all times and even die trying.

The Helmet which was originally Blue in color, retracted itself, to reveal a heavily demonized Aavesh who had closed his eyes.

With a spike from the Armor, Aavesh immediately opened his eyes revealing crimson purplish flame within them. He spoke hoarsely as he saw the massive Cavern before him, with hatred in his controlled voice,

"We're Here"
